Women, of course. Then the kind of women RD and JS are. Physically and verbally abused for 16 years, spending much of my time shaking like a leaf, hiding in the closet less I be beaten again by Mom, fighting for my life as she held me down in the bathtub trying to drown me or belittled me to the point I wanted to just curl up and die. Trying to dodge that butcher knife at 5 years old. Thrown out in the snow, naked, because I had gotten mud on my shoes. In a very rural area but nowhere to seek shelter because neighbors didn't want to get involved with the craziness. Only one woman I've told my story to, my now deceased wife, God rest her soul, didn't give me the litany that being on the lam from my parents, not caring if they lived or died or where they were, was a terrible thing to do, because in womanthink "but they're you're parents". So it's all about racism, sexism. It's not about real life and real people. It's not about the hate I experience every day from blacks, like my ancestors weren't slaves the same time their ancestors were. It's all about the liberal bent, the "everything is coming up roses" approach for RD and JS, who, It's all about the heart. JS and RD's heart go out to people they make sure don't live or work near where they live and work. In their miserable lives of theory, they want us to believe as they believe, but only in theory, and to toe the line to what they pronounce. That's who would be offended and judgemental.
